There exist considerable intricacies in the practice of Vastu. Read on to give you easy steps to create your pooja room as per Vastu Shastra

pooja room or a prayer room is a space that many homeowners or tenants think about from the day they intend to move. Here is a guide to help you incorporate pooja room vastu of your desire for the perfect prayer space and to help you narrow down to what will finally be your dream space.

 

1. DIRECTION OF PRAYER AREA FOR POOJA ROOM VASTU

#TheDivineDirection
A pooja room space is defined by its location and  direction .Vastu Shastra recommends north-east, north or east as the best direction for a pooja room. In case, that is not feasible then you can also opt for the east or north direction. It is suggested to keep the interior design and styling of the pooja room subtle.

2. SHAPE OF MANDIR DESIGN FOR POOJA ROOM VASTU

#TheClassicDesign
Usually a tomb or pyramid-like design is suggested for a mandir. This form is considered an ideal pooja room design and is preferred for maintaining placing the idols. A pooja room should have a low ceiling compared to the house and a door if the design permits you.  This design can help you meditate peacefully. You can also design a threshold and a two-way door for your pooja room. This prevents insects from entering the pooja room space.

3. LEVEL OF POOJA ROOM AS PER VASTU

Vastu shastra propagates the northeast direction so as to harness the energy from the sun. If you’re planning a new home and can decide where your pooja room is located, then we recommend avoiding basement or higher floors of the house. It’s advised to place your mandir on the ground level as per pooja room vaastu.

4. GOD’S IDOL DIRECTION AS PER VASTU

One of the most significant elements of your pooja room Vastu is the direction of positioning the idol. Vastu guidelines suggest placing your idol away from surrounding walls so that there is a perennial flow of air around it. Furthermore, it is suggested that the idol must be put at least five or more inches above ground level. Additionally, the idol should be placed  that one faces the east or north when praying.


 

5. STORAGE IN POOJA GHAR

Confused where to place pooja room items? The southeast zone is just right for them as per Vastu Shastra. The space above the idol is best left free of any clutter.

6. POOJA ROOM WALL AND FLOOR COLOURS AS PER VASTU

#TheCorrectColour
The right colour makes the aesthetics of any location spot on. Hence, give attention while picking the right pooja room colour. Ideally, opt for pastel or light hues of white and yellow as they brighten up the space .  And if you want to spruce it up with some textures, go for white marble or pastel yellow palette.

8. DOOR VASTU FOR POOJA ROOM

#TheHolyDoor
According to pooja room door Vastu, two-shutter doors made of high-quality wood are advised. Additionally, the doorway should have a threshold. The pooja room will be free from insects as the threshold helps to keep them out. The idol can be positioned directly facing the entry door of the pooja room.

 

9. VASTU ITEMS FOR POOJA ROOM

#TheIdealItems
Like other areas of the house, pooja rooms can be decorated with fresh flowers and lights. Copper vessels can be used for collecting water. The pooja room is best kept clean, placing a dustbin in the area could be avoided. Use of scented candles, dhoop, or incense sticks are good additions too.

10. ROOMS WHERE YOU CAN MAKE YOUR POOJA ROOM AS PER VASTU

#TheRightRoom
In small flats or apartments, locating the space for the pooja area can be difficult. It’s not unusual to find the pooja room in kitchens or bedrooms. In such cases, if the pooja room is in the kitchen, more often the northeast corner is used with two shutter doors to keep it closed when not in use.
Having the pooja space in the bedroom is generally not considered wise, as Vastu suggests that no one should sleep in the pooja room. If there is no other alternative than the bedroom, the northeast corner of the bedroom is mostly used. Furthermore, the bed is positioned in such a way that your feet don’t point towards the pooja space.
